October 12 is reading day!
I am posting this so I won't forget: Daisy's preschool teacher, Giuliana, told us to mark the date of Oct. 12 as the date Daisy is officially reading! Apparently she has been reading a little book they have at school for this purpose. I have noticed some reading at home, too; Daisy can read most of a book we have called Big and Little. But I am happy to call it as Oct. 12, since that is the day the teachers pegged it. Daisy is four years and almost three months. My mother tells me I was reading well before that, at three and a half, but I am proud of my girl for getting there at four!
I have been feeling pretty wretched lately. I got sick over a week ago, on Monday of last week, and forced myself to continue through my week, attending my job and my classes, my trainings and my supervisions. Then I thought I was getting better toward the end of last week, but suddenly I felt worse than ever. My throat and lymph nodes are super swollen and painful. I went to the doctor this morning and she ran a strep test, the results of which I get tomorrow. It was hard forcing myself to cancel my day and just stay home, despite the fact that the doctor told me I wouldn't get better if I keep going like this. I hated having to cancel my appointments with clients at the clinic, and I am worried that this will somehow give leverage to my group supervisor, who doesn't like me and has been giving me a bad time at group supervision each week. I really hate potentially giving her anything to pick on me about, and I had to miss her training today plus cancel my clinic clients.
This has been a terribly hard time.

I think Daisy resisted learning to read on her own because she was having such a great time being read to. No problem. She was a reading-readiness champion.
You need rest.
Yes, she loves being read to, so we have to explain that that won't stop just because she is learning to read. Of course we will go on reading to her!
Hang in there, hope you feel much better soon. Glad you had a good time at the Goblin Jamboree despite being sick! Wish I could have come too, sounds like fun. :-)
Probably true that D. likes the interactivity of being read to! Perhaps she will turn the tables and read to you. In a way she already does as she makes up her own stories.
